Bangkok Thailand Tour July -2024

Me and my team went to Bangkok Thailand, in July 2024, as we celebrated 4th July in Bangkok. I must say it was a 7-day trip. Bangkok, officially known in Thai as Krung The Maha Nakhon and colloquially as Krung Thep, is the capital and most populous city of Thailand.

The people from Thailand who we met spoke English, to get by, we were able to communicate, and put deals together with us.

The Food was great, there were many varieties, of cuisines from all over the world, I was very impressed there were Halal, Restaurants, where one can eat the meats you like to eat.  The desserts were out of this world, all the cakes you enjoy, Ice cream and so much more. I would highly recommend that you drink bottled water, not the Thai water.

I believe Bangkok and whole of Thailand has close to 14 Thousand 7/11 Stores one on each corner, I asked Mr. Chan, why so many stores, he told me that the Thai, people like to go and shop there, and that’s why they are so popular.
